Real-Time Mapping Allows Operator to Place Over 80% of Horizontal Section within Targeted Sand Zone


Directional drilling is the science of deviating a wellbore along a planned path to a target whose location is a given lateral distance and direction from vertical. This process includes keeping the wellbore as vertical as possible from a given vertical depth. Schlumberger offers a combination of proven workflows and technologies that place a high quantity of quality data into the hands of expert directional drillers. These services allow them to make time-critical decisions for efficient and accurate well placement.

Differentiating directional drilling technologies include PowerDrive rotary steerable system (RSS), formation evaluation services such as Scope family of advanced measurements, and Operation Support Centers that enable optimal drilling decisions to be made in real time in a collaborative environment.

Directional Drilling Applications
  • Extended-Reach Drilling
    Horizontal and directional drilling services provide the solutions for restricted reservoir production.

Formation Evaluation Services Drilling Software
  • Petrel Drilling Workflows
    Real-time drilling workflows allow asset teams to interact closely and effectively during the drilling operation to deliver outstanding results.
